8.13.98 - GnomeNEWS

Hey gang! This is the Lockergnome Daily HTML newsletter! As you can see, this is MUCH more colorful in your Inbox. Plus, it'll be coming to you on a more frequent basis (for easier info digestion). I encourage you to stick with this NEW format--the best is yet to come! For those text fanatics, you'll also be getting the Text Weekly Digest at the end of every week. So just sit back, relax, and put your feet up on your desk (unless your boss is looking).



I was recently reminded of one of the reasons I started writing Lockergnome. The other day, I walked into a local electronics store, looking to purchase a phone headset so that my hands would be free to type as I talked with people on the phone. I was ready to plop down $100 on a good model. But I didn't.

The sales associate was very friendly at first. I wanted to ask him a few more questions before walking away with a purchase, but before I could, a very rude woman turned his attention towards her. The sales associate (before closing a sale with me) turned silenty to this "rude" customer and started helping her. I wasn't done with him yet. He disappeared.

There was a time in my life (two weeks ago) when I could have forgiven this action. I was upset at the woman, but I was more upset at the sales associate (who should have put the woman in her place and finished with me first). Everywhere I turn I encounter poor service. I really can't wait for e-commerce to get here. I'll be my own salesperson, thank you very much.

MP3Box v1.2.2 [2.8M] W9x/NT4 FREE

The first CD I ever purchased was the Travelling Willburys. So, how can I turn those CD audio tracks into MP3 files? With MP3Box! It's easy to use, and the output is equally phenomenal. Right now, as far as CD-quality sound is concerned, MP3 is the king (it'll be replaced some day). You can always download a new "facade" from the site to the program it a new look & feel. Slick!

Controlling individuals should like this tweak. If you have IE4 (or W98) installed, make a new 'Control Panel' toolbar. Right-click on the taskbar, choose 'Toolbars' then 'New Toolbar'. In the dialog box, scroll down and select 'Control Panel'. Click 'OK' and voila! You can right-click on the toolbar to change its appearance, plus drag & drop it anywhere!
